Default Post Your Gas Mileage

94 LS400 140k

Recently took a road trip of 500 miles. The car ran perfectly. Got 19.50 miles per gallon highway @ 70mph. City is about 16. I have put new plugs, rotors and wires @ 137k. How does this compare to what you are getting. The car runs great but seems to be a bit underpowered.

Car it supposed to get 16 city and 22 highway. Just wondering if you guys are getting better.

Great read http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/L...exus1stGen.htm
